Owner of vandalized Detroit coffee shop encourages suspects to turn themselves in

(CBS DETROIT) — The owner of Morningside Cafe, a local favorite coffee shop in Detroit, was shocked to find major damage after vandals attempted a break-in.

It’ll take thousands of dollars to repair the damage two vandals caused on Dec. 27.

“I was just dumbfounded, shocked,” said Jeffrey Lewis II, owner of Morningside Cafe.

Lewis said when he arrived to open his shop, he noticed an extensive amount of damage to the front window.

“It was completely shattered, pretty much the entire window,” he said.

Lewis says that camera footage shows two people throwing a heavy block at the front window. He says he recognized one of the suspects.

“One of the gentlemen he’s actually been inside of our cafe. He’s asked for handouts,” Lewis said. “There’s been a couple of times when I’ve actually given him money.”

Lewis encourages the two suspects to turn themselves in. He said a Detroit police detective received the footage and the investigation is ongoing. So far, Lewis said, the community has rallied around the cafe.

“All the love and the well wishes, you know, those who have come in and given me hugs and told me it’s going to be okay, it’s definitely been appreciated,” he said.

Lewis says it’s the community that keeps him going.

“It’s the people, you know, that’s what makes my job. That’s why I get up seven days a week to be here; it’s the people,” he said.

Vikings at Lions predictions: Expert picks for NFL Week 9

Are you ready for some football? With the Detroit Lions taking a week off after their thrilling “Monday Night Football” win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, they’re back and ready to get back to business on Sunday afternoon. The Lions host the NFC North divisional rival Minnesota Vikings for their first matchup of the season. The Vikings come in at 3-4 and aren’t as scary as they’ve been in years past, but that doesn’t mean the Lions can overlook them.

“I know what the talent is, I’ve seen it,” said Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. “They’re going to do what they need to do to help him out and try to reduce the stress. Take as much off his plate, yet allow him to do things he does well. They’re going to find ways. They’re going to try to establish the run, screen game, get it to 18 (Justin Jefferson), get this kid on the move. They’re going to do a hell of a job. They’ll have a good plan ready, and so will we.”

Here’s a look at our Pride of Detroit staff picks for the Lions in Week 9:
